Mentors

Here are this week’s free Amazon Kindle Books for entrepreneurs and small businesses, which provide valuable information that will improve and inspire what you do. Each one has the potential to increase your levels of success.

Enjoy learning from these free Kindle books for entrepreneurs while they’re on promotion – remember they might only be free for one day, as there’s a maximum of 5 days that can be made free every 90 days.

Books are the easiest way to access information, and there’s a link below to download free apps from Amazon, enabling you to read Kindle eBooks anywhere.

The author shares his own real life experiences as an entrepreneur, so you will learn the actual steps needed to bring results. This book gives you 50 practical lessons to follow on how to build your first successful startup.

This is an interesting book that describes the value of finding a mentor. The author shares how he worked with Matthew Hussey, a New York Times best-selling author, TV personality, and 2013 nominee for the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and gives you a plan to follow in his footsteps.

As an entrepreneur you need motivation to help you keep focused on your goals, and my Kindle eBook “Motivational Quotes For Entrepreneurs: Inspire Your Way To Success” is a unique, interactive answer. There are 234 specially selected quotes to suit your situation – and your mood – with 3 different categories to choose from for each subject.

“As anyone who is an entrepreneur knows, it is a tough journey and sometimes it can be downright HARD to stay motivated, especially if you’re not seeing the success you’re hoping for. This book is filled with TONS of great motivational quotes to keep me inspired and focused to achieve my dreams as an entrepreneur!” – Katrina Abiasi, Amazon, US.

Following on from last week, here are the next 20 places where you can receive free education online.

I’m sharing this information because I believe in the value of education, but I don’t believe in building massive amounts of debt. There are countries in Europe who’ve realized the importance of free college education, for the future prosperity of their nations, but the UK and the US persist in adding a load of stress on to young people.

As an entrepreneur, you don’t have to follow strict rules – you can be flexible and learn what you want, when you want, and where you want. Instead of having a debt of $150,000 hanging over you – how much use could you make of that amount if you invested it into your business? It would make a massive contribution to the success of your venture, and the benefits would last long after you’d forgotten boring subjects you didn’t need to learn.

You would see the greatest returns if you invested in coaches and mentors who create the right mindset for success, and help you plan your direction. This would keep you focused on your end goal, and you would avoid the shiny object syndrome that distracts many.

You can make learning enjoyable when you add interests to your life that don’t come from formal courses – learn a musical instrument, a new language . . . the possibilities are endless. When you discover new passions they will add fire to your business, and you will achieve a balanced lifestyle, where pleasure is an important factor of your long-term success.

Choose subjects that fit in with what you need to know, and that fit into your timetable. When you learn what you can apply immediately, and see the benefits – that is the enormous gift these links will provide for you.

This interview with new entrepreneur, David Steinberger, reveals how the support he received helped him launch his business, Comixology. He’s turned the niche interest of comics into a top selling iPad app. Where David’s interest is in designing a digital platform for the latest comic heroes he loves, I’m interested in vintage designs.

This led to many hours editing 1950s comics on Photoshop, to make the old images look good on the Kindle. These are two short books intended for young children, but they will appeal to all ages who enjoy invoking the innocence and fun of vintage memories.

Many who use Public Domain images to publish Kindle books leave the images faded and poor quality, and they white over the speech bubbles and then add new text. I clean up the speech bubbles, and then use the brush to go over each letter to maintain the original artist’s style . . . pixel by pixel.

It certainly wasn’t easy deciding when to leave well alone, and not being able to resist tidying up the loose coloring of the characters. In the second Vintage Comic book I did, with Cuffy Cat, I found one of the characters had the wrong color hat on! I’ve offered a free copy from the Vintage Memories Series for anyone who knows who it is.

You can turn each cartoon to landscape view, and double tap to fill the Kindle screen, and by downloading free Apps from Amazon you can read these Kindle comic books on your PC, Mac, Tablet or Smartphone.

This is a really helpful video on how Tim Ferriss started the process of writing a book, and with the support of Jack Canfield he published the phenomenally successful “The 4-Hour Workweek”.
